Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Collection of 6 children's stories with colorful illustrations throughout by Clara Powers Wilson. Typical of the period, the title story employs stereotyped descriptions & images to tell the tale of a "little darky boy" who got his name because "his mouth was just the shape of a big slice or ripe wat…ermelon," & who, craving the fruit one night, is enticed by a small fairy--the "naughty little Blackie" to break into a neighboring farmer's field to steal one. Orig. published in 1914, this is edition is from 1938, a 12mo in brightly decorated paper over boards, in 68 pages. Condition is Good+: generally quite clean, with random small smudges & spots. Binding strong & straight, reinforced with cloth inside both covers. Pages moderately tanned but completely unmarked save for old gift inscription in pen inside front cover. Exterior shows significant rubbing, heavy in places, especially all corners. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
